Brandi Potter

Ask Brandi Potter why she shoots weddings the way she does—capturing people more than details—and she will answer without missing a beat: “People aren’t going to care about table settings and ring shots in the long run. They’re going to care about having the moments with their grandparents, families and friends.” The Canon shooter, who says her kit is super small and she only needs “the camera bodies, the 35 and the tilt shift to get through a day,” complements her signature style by playing around with different types of light, incorporating earthy and moody tones into her images, and keeping things real and emotive.
